Post-processing Workflow / Re: Which format to transcode before editing ?
March 07, 2013, 04:07:29 AM
Transcoding is only meant to be used if your machine isn't able to process natively. So you keep your full-res clips on an external drive, transcode down to what editors call an "offline" format. The kids these days call it "proxy." Basically something editable with minimal RAM/CPU loads and doesn't need to be rendered to play back.
You do your edit, and when everything is locked and ready for output, you "online" it. Unlink your clips, then reconnect them to the original clips on your external drive. You'll do all of your final outputs from the up-rezzed version.
So, if you have a screaming system that can play multiple streams of 1080p and Premiere Pro, why not edit with the masters?
